Computer-Based+Instruction


 * Defined**: Interactive instructional experience between a computer and the learner where the computer provides the majority of the stimulus and the student responds. The computer is the storage and delivery device with all content resident on the student’s computer. It provides the primary display and storage capability and can support high-resolution images and video.

This site is home to a journal written by three professors at BYU Provo. It features design strategies for a computer based instruction system. Abstract: In February, 1984, the Computer Science Department at Brigham Young University began working on a project that would automate the delivery of a beginning programming class. This project known as THE ELROND PROJECT, was funded by the university with the expectation that the instructional delivery costs and the need for additional faculty for this course could be reduced. This paper describes the system design and principles that were used and presents strategies for creating computer automated courseware. (U`ilani Corr-Yorkman, 9/13/09)
